These pests travel from building to building here in Sacramento and are a huge problem for both home and business owners. Two common problems that go hand-in-hand with these pests include insomnia and anemia. These conditions both affect general health and can make getting good rest impossible. If you are waking up with bite marks on your skin or have seen small reddish-brown bugs crawling around inside your home or business, you need to know about professional bed bug control. Here are some things to consider about our process and why many locals here in Sacramento choose Explorer Pest Management for their pest control needs.

Our Bed Bug Control Process

There are a lot of things that go into bed bug control here in Sacramento. At Explorer Pest Management, our process starts with a thorough inspection of interior spaces. Because these pests are great at hiding, our team is trained to identify signs of bed bugs. We are also equipped with advanced gear to detect these creatures wherever they are trying to hide. Once we understand what we are up against in terms of population size and location of the infestation, we will walk you through the preparation steps that are needed before we can treat your home or business. Here is what our technicians might ask you to do.

• Packing: All furniture and appliances inside your home need to be pulled away from baseboards. Furniture with cracks, crevices, and other potential hiding spots for bed bugs must be unpacked so treatments can penetrate these areas. Items in sealed plastic bags or containers can be left in the dwelling but have to be checked for bed bugs after treatment.
• Laundry: Everything in your home that can be laundered should be. This includes clothes, blankets, drapes, bed covers, and pet beds. Wash all of these items on high heat and immediately store them inside air-tight bags. This will prevent bed bugs from getting back onto them. Keep these items sealed tight until after the second treatment. If you have your laundry professionally cleaned, make sure you tell your cleaner that items might be infested.
• Vacuuming: The mechanical removal of bed bugs by vacuuming is the most important preparation we ask of property owners. This process removes eggs and bed bugs from carpets, floors, and the crevices between walls and reduces population size so that treatments can have a better chance of having a full effect. Make sure while vacuuming to clean every area you can possibly think of. This should include the crevices of furniture, the seams of your mattress, and cracks between floorboards.

There is only one requirement beyond these preparatory steps that you will have to know prior to treatment. Once we treat your home you will have to stay out for at least two hours and possibly longer, depending on the size and severity of your infestation. Our technicians will let you know the exact time you will have to vacate the property and make sure you have everything you need before heading back in.

After initial treatment, we will schedule your home for an inspection and potential retreatment three to four weeks later. This is to check to see if any bed bugs survived. If another treatment is necessary, we will re-treat your interior spaces. Most often, there are only a few of these pests, if any, left behind. We do all of this to guarantee that these biting insects get and stay out of your home or business.
